The private papers of Douglas Haig 1914-1919

"The publication of Field Marshal Lord Haig's Private Papers has been recognised as making available a document of great historical importance. He is the only great Commander in English History to have kept in his own handwriting a day by day record of events and impressions during the course of his campaign. The extracts from his diary and letters which form nine tenths of this book are presented exactly as Haig wrote them."--Book Jacket.
